Brick and stone are blended thoughtfully with metal and glass on Jarvis Hall Science Wing to draw a connection to the university’s past while looking to its future discoveries. The glass and windows also put science on display, emphasizing transparency for a campus community that sought an open and inviting character. Abundant light fills the building’s lounges and classrooms, and provides views of the campus available throughout the building.

The design distributes departmental spaces to encourage cross-disciplinary interaction and collaboration. Spaces are adaptable to accommodate program and pedagogical changes efficiently. With comfortable study lounges, framed glimpses of the labs and displays, and corridors giving views of the campus, the design of Jarvis Hall Science Wing distinctively captures the spirit of UW—Stout.
